Ratings and reviews

I'm adding another issue: Closed captioning has disappeared from the app. You're actually discriminating. It's 2025! It should be available for all videos and an option in the app settings to turn it on permanently. Videos I've not watched have the white bar at the bottom as if I watched it. I have to watch a bit to know if I've seen it. If I have, I remove it from my library. It would be really nice if the white bar appeared at the bottom of the thumbnail of ones I've watched.

Highly unstable app. I've done all the basic troubleshooting on my Galaxy S22. I've closed all apps running & it'll still usually crashes . I enjoy History Hit & paid for a yearly membership. However, if the app continues to have performance issues, I will not renew. It also lacks basic features, such as being able to mark something as listened & bookmarks to return a spot later. Bookmarks are helpful for long podcasts. Get it together and add these to your product backlog for the love of God!

First, the UI is fairly mediocre. Second, while there is unquestionably some good content and some great presenters, this channel is also full of a lot of total dross, bad presenters, and 10 minute "mini documentaries." If I wanted short history videos of deeply variable quality, I'd get them for free on YouTube and not pay for this app. Hopefully they improve but until then I'll be uninstalling and canceling my subscription at the end of my trial period.
